Problem

When a Concrete Beam, Column or Pile Schedule is exported to Excel, all of the round parametric shape names do not display as they do in the Schedule itself. Catalog based shapes and even parametric rectangular shapes seem to be OK, but parametric round shapes are incorrectly formatted like this:

Solution

This has been identified as defect 822539 and will be fixed in a future release. In the interim, you can create a custom schedule using a custom Excel template where the applicable spreadsheet cells use the General format. This should allow parametric round shapes to display as they do in the Schedule itself as shown in the Pile example below.
